§ Mr. Michael McNair-Wilsonasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what guidance he has issued to local education authorities about the pattern of non-selective secondary education he wishes them to introduce.
§ Mr. ArmstrongCircular 4/74 referred to the variety of possible types of organisation of schools on comprehensive lines, and suggested a number of considerations on which the relevant advantages of the various types of organisation in any given area would depend. It explained that my right hon. Friend regarded these considerations as a proper matter for individual local education authorities, after due consultation with local interests, and always subject to the overriding need to eliminate all forms of selection at all stages.
